Beyond Borders: Cultivating Innovation, Collaboration, Diversity and Resilience through International Education

For more than 20 years, George Brown College (GBC) has been actively engaged in international education, preparing students for the global market and attracting students from abroad to study, learn, and exchange experiences at GBC. International education has a significant impact on our campus community and Canadian social, economic and cultural well-being.

This year GBC is excited to be joining institutions in over 100 countries in celebration of International Education Week (IEW) with our flagship event Beyond Borders: Cultivating Innovation, Collaboration, Diversity and Resilience through International Education.

Join us on Thursday, November 21, 2019 from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM for a special day featuring a keynote address by Dr. Janaka Ruwanpura, Vice-Provost International at the University of Calgary, speaking on the internationalization of teaching, learning, and research at GBC and the opportunities that lie ahead. The day will also feature a student/alumni panel discussion on the importance of international education and global competencies in a global market.

A variety of campus partners will also hold activities and events during the week in celebration of International Education Week. For more details please visit: https://www.georgebrown.ca/beyondborders/
